The rumors are swirling: 1047 Games, a renowned video game developer, is tantalizingly close to revealing something momentous on July 18th. The developer’s official Twitter account featured a concise video snippet showcasing an individual clad in armor bearing the enigmatic “RHINOK” emblem. “In just three days, I’ll claim ownership of you.”
While the nonofficial declaration may appear inconsequential at first glance, its actual impact is significant. Followers will likely recall the RHINO armor, which could potentially be a modified version of the same. After discontinuing support for the innovative project in September 2022, the developer invested considerable time refining outdated methodologies and revitalizing existing content. To satiate the cravings of die-hard fans, a sequel is envisioned with ground-breaking, non-iterative advancements that will redefine the series’ trajectory.
Developed using Unreal Engine 5, the upcoming game is set to become a free-to-play shooter that incorporates innovative portal-based gameplay mechanics. Despite being largely ineffective, the game remains operational, boasting a modest 338 concurrent players on Steam at the time of this writing. As the original’s lifetime peak boasted 67,724 players, with an impressive “Very Optimistic” rating stemming from 91% of 111,367 user reviews, it will undoubtedly pique interest to observe how the sequel fares.
In three days…
You’re mine.
